Paper clarifies: Tenet did NOT say Iraq war wrong (((you getting this you leftists terror supporters?))) Saturday, October 23, 2004 Tenet story clarified Former CIA Director George Tenet told the Economic Club of Southwestern Michigan on Wednesday that the United States was wrong on its pre-war intelligence in Iraq, but an article in Thursday's Herald-Palladium may have put the comment in an incorrect context. The story said Tenet called the war in Iraq "wrong." However, after reviewing the reporter's notes (Tenet barred reporters from using tape recorders), the newspaper now believes Tenet used the word "wrong" in the context of U.S. intelligence, not on the direct question of whether the United States should be in Iraq. Here are excerpts of Tenet's comments from the reporter's notes: (Although) "we were wrong in Iraq ... (the CIA) is not the dysfunctional lot the media has led you to believe." "We are rightly being challenged on our performance in Iraq." (Regarding an audience request that he clarify his view on the Iraq war): "I did not walk in and tell the president that it (the Iraq invasion) was wrong to do. I won't say at the end of the game, when things are looking bad, that I was against it all along." (Regarding an audience question as to whether the Iraq invasion was a "waste" in the greater war on terrorism): "I don't think it was a waste when you look at the regime he ran. We made a decision. Politically you can decide if it was right. Either way, we need to honor the commitment we made." heraldpalladium.com
